An organized pack of thieves stole more than $13,000 worth of iPhones from the Apple Store at the Natick Mall on Tuesday, police said.

The MetroWest Daily News reported that the unidentified group of seven – believed to be teens or young men – stole the 18 iPhones and ran from the store, police spokesman Lt. Cara Rossi said.

"We've been hearing about this," said Rossi. "They're traveling in packs. They brazenly walk in together and steal."

On Tuesday, the group of seven walked into the Apple Store at the same time. Less than a minute later, they all grabbed iPhones from the chargers and tore them away from the security cord that secured them.

They then ran from the store and were last seen heading toward the Met Bar & Grill, Rossi said.

None of the suspects have been identified, Rossi said.

Anyone with information about the thefts are asked to call the Natick Police detective bureau at 508-647-9520. Anonymous tips are welcome, Rossi said
